Client Service

Employers and insurers strive to manage claims in a manner that is both fair to the worker and in compliance with the law. However, this is not always easy. In fact, employers and insurers in Oregon are subject to a high level of regulation and oversight, which carries with it a slew of penalties, sanctions and reprimands for noncompliance.

I serve my clients knowing and appreciating that they work in a fast-paced and highly regulated field. I understand that the best outcome is finality to a claim whenever possible, be it through litigation or mediation. This is achieved through preparation, aggressive advocacy and common sense.

My clients are my number one priority. I am easily accessible and make a point of being responsive. I can be reached at any time with general questions on Oregon law, claim management and processing or litigation defense.

Personal

I spend my spare time with my family—husband, two boys, a daughter and three dogs—who all keep me busy! I enjoy reading and movies (ask me my top five!) I am an unapologetic political junkie and fantasy/sci-fi enthusiast.
